Borough Presidents

Check out these killer canvas paintings of five Big Apple Hip Hop legends by New York City-based clothing brand TWON dubbed “Borough Presidents.”

Each painting represents one of New York’s five boroughs with Nas representing Queens; Notorious B.I.G, Brooklyn; Ol Dirty Bastard, Staten Island; Big L, Manhattan; and Big Pun, The Bronx.

The images of these rap stars have also been made available on t-shirts as well and can be found at TWONNYC.com.

TWON’s designs are New York City-centric; taking influences from the cultural clashes taking place everyday in the city that never sleeps. The brand is small but steadily growing with retail accounts in REED SPACE, UNION NYC/LA, Memes, Premium Goods NY, Atmos NYC, Essence in Japan and In4mation in Hawaii.

Check out the canvases after the jump.
